Package: krb5
Version: 1.6.dfsg.3-1
Severity: normal

The documentation say:
| -keepold
|     Keeps the previous kvno's keys around. There is no easy way to
|     delete the old keys, and this flag is usually not necessary except
|     perhaps for TGS keys. Don't use this flag unless you know what
|     you're doing. This option is not supported for the LDAP database

But the password change with -keepold does not fail on a LDAP backed
realm:
| kadmin:  cpw -randkey -keepold blank
| Key for "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" randomized.

In fact, kadmin now sees two key versions:
| kadmin:  getprinc blank
| [...]
| Number of keys: 4
| Key: vno 4, AES-256 CTS mode with 96-bit SHA-1 HMAC, no salt
| Key: vno 4, Triple DES cbc mode with HMAC/sha1, no salt
| Key: vno 3, AES-256 CTS mode with 96-bit SHA-1 HMAC, no salt
| Key: vno 3, Triple DES cbc mode with HMAC/sha1, no salt

Either the documentation is wrong or it should disallow the change at
all in this case.
